Grant Funding Amount Low: $500
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $3,000
Summary
This funding opportunity supports efforts to bring reading resources to youth in areas where access to books may be limited. It is intended for groups involved in outreach that focuses on delivering reading materials to children through creative or mobile approaches.
Funds are available in modest amounts and are intended to help expand or update collections of books for younger audiences. The purpose is to support reading for enjoyment as well as informal learning. Use of funds is limited to certain materials, and other costs—such as equipment, services, or operational needs—are not covered.
Applicants are typically organizations with a community or educational focus. While individuals and for-profit businesses are not considered, those working in service to children in under-resourced settings are encouraged to explore the opportunity. Groups that demonstrate an existing commitment to youth engagement and reading access are more likely to align with the intent of the grant.
The opportunity is available once each year, with a defined application window. Review periods follow shortly after, and awards are generally shared within a few months of the submission deadline. Application instructions and submission details are specific and must be followed closely.
This grant is offered in multiple locations and is especially helpful for outreach programs that bring books to readers outside of traditional spaces. It supports efforts aimed at improving access to age-appropriate books and encourages thoughtful planning in how reading materials are selected and used. For organizations that regularly serve children and are looking to strengthen or grow their offerings, this funding may be a practical and supportive resource.
This grant may be available to individuals and organizations in Connecticut that are actively involved in Non-Profit Support Services. To locate more funding opportunities in your field, visit The Grant Portal and search by interest area using the Search Grant tool.
